Baroque Inspiration

I had a wonderful weekend with my hubby, Duncan. We relaxed all day Saturday and had a fabulous dinner in downtown Seattle. Since this was our last free weekend before Benjamin returns from his Texas vacation, I took a little time to tinker around with the Baroque Motifs stamp set (last two images), especially after the traffic-filled ride home Saturday night. Stamping is how I relieve stress. Anyway, I think the stamps themselves are elegant enough, so I kept the card fronts simple.

Using Scraps

I was cleaning up and noticed I had several scraps that were still usable. In the spirit of going green and recycling, here's how I used the extras. For the last card, I modeled it after another demonstrator's piece using the Party Hearty set.

Just dabbling...

Just had to stamp after today's happy hour.

From Stamp a Stack

Below are some cards I made at a recent Stamp a Stack I attended.

A few new cards...

Above are some cards I created this weekend. I was suddenly inspired by my friends Michael and Christy, who are expecting their first child. I normally like using the Bold Brights colors, but I thought I'd branch out to the Rich Regals as well.
